Hi Guys -
Need a little help with my new rig any help will be appreciated, thanx in advance
Here's the specs:
Intel PD 830
Asus P5WD2 Premium (BIOS 0512)
OCZ PC2-4200 DDR2-533 (2x1 gig)
2 x Raptor RAID0
WD SATA2 250 Gig
ATI X850XTPE
SB Audigy 2
OCZ Powerstream 600
2 x DVD-R/W
Cooling:
Storm CPU Block
120.1 Black Ice Extreme
MCP-350
Microcool NB HSF
Anyway, I currently have this rig clocked at 275 FSB with a 14x multi. Vcore is set to 1.5v in BIOS but shows up as 1.46v idle in windows and drops to about 1.38v during two instances of prime. Temps are around 26C/80F ambient and it idles at 40C, 54C load. Are these temps okay???
What I would like to know is 300+ FSB possible with my config? I'm an idiot when it comes to BIOS settings and have no idea what voltages to lock in.
Where do I need to be to get 300+ FSB? Here's the settings I have in BIOS now...
DRAM = 1:1
Performance Mode = Auto
PCIX = Auto
PCI = 33.3
Dimm Volts = 2.00v
Vcore = 1.525v
FSB Term = Auto (no clue what this should be)
ICH = Auto = (huh?)
Lock Free = Enabled
Speedstep = Minimum
Microcode Upd= Enabled
Max CPUID = Disabled
Exe Disable Funct = Disabled
C1 = Disabled
Thermal Control = Disabled
BTW, added the missing cap and still experiencing shutdown on reboot.
Oh forgot to mention...my goal is to hit 330 FSB for 24/7 use.
